Eh Veggies and then some amazing Leftovers.

Sunday night was some veggies over rice and some leftover layered salad.  It was edible.  We finished off the veggies and salad and stored the rice for later use.  I always make lots of rice.
Anyway the veggies consisted of onion, mushrooms, zucchini, a couple of the little sweet peppers and one of the larger green peppers.  cooked up in some hearty veggie broth and a little bit of flour to make it gravy like with salt and pepper.  I think it would have been better with more mushrooms and salt.  I am usually very stingy when cooking with salt.

Monday, the girl child didn't have school so I cooked up some eggs for me and the kids.  I made mine with onion and topped it with some of the grape tomatoes. And had a piece of toast with local honey and a mandarin orange on the side.

Then Monday night was once again Krav night.  So I made some "burgers" out of the leftover rice and some garbanzo beans, sweet peppers, onion, celery, garlic, salt, an egg and oats for the boy to pop in the oven before we got home.  I also put him in charge of making a fruit salad to go with it.
He made a lovely fruit salad with some pineapple, strawberries and apples.  He made a lot of it.  I know what I am having for lunch tomorrow.

Produce Co-op and a Quick Masala Burger Lunch

Produce this week was lovely.  We got the juicing pack as well as the basic basket again.  The whole family volunteered - that would be 3 of us.
Juicing Pack
Kale
Beets with chard leaves still attached 
Celery (which we traded for extra beets, just to get the chard)
cucumber
parsley
apples
lemons
limes
oranges
ginger
carrots


 Basic Share
bananas
oranges
apples
lemons
peppers (although our location was short again and we chose to go without once again, last time I do that, I do like the peppers)
savoy
potatoes
pineapple
strawberries
onions
avacados

Extras we got for volunteering
I chose a bag of potatoes, the husband chose a box of strawberries and the girl child chose avocado.

We didn't get any other extras this week, so that was $24.50 for all that beautiful produce.  The pineapple isn't going to be ready to eat any time soon.  Actually based on how green it is, it might not be ready until next week.  But we have plenty of other fruit.  We still have a couple oro blancos and a couple oranges from last week as well as celery from last week, which is why I traded away this week's celery.  That and we just love chard.

We made our grocery list and fixed a quick lunch, which involved actual convenience food.  We had Trader Joe's Masala veggie burgers with avocado and a side a fruit.  Hubby joined me with the veggie burger, but the girl child decided she really did want one of the meat burgers we had for her.
